Watson Research Center and served as a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional). He has been working for IBM for 10 years since Before joining IBM T. J. Watson, he was a staff researcher at IBM China Research Lab during In Jan 2010, Nan enrolled the Ph.D program in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and received his Ph.D degree in Aug During these years, he kept working for IBM as a research intern and a joint researcher. Nan led many research projects related to graph and text visualizations in domains of social media data analysis and healthcare data analysis both inside and outside IBM. Nan s primary expertise and research interests are information visualization and visual analysis. He is specialized in producing novel visualizations to represent and analysis complex relationships of heterogeneous multidimensional data via various types of graph visualization techniques.
